Yes, sorry about that.  I didn't realize that I forgot the
attachment.  I looked for the file, but I no longer have it.
But it does sound like exactly the same bug.

The only odd thing in comparing the two reports is that the
thread of #31695 says that it is NOT a problem in Emacs 23.4.1,
but bug #19930 reports that it is a problem that started with
Emacs 24.3.  But I guess I could have been mistaken about that,
and #19930 is reported from 25.0.50.1 of 2014-10-20.

I'm glad there is a second report of the same problem, and that
the cause was found.

I still see this, and it can be quite annoying.  I end up having
to delete a frame that I really want to keep open to a particular
part of the buffer, just to be able to do `grep' etc.  Or else I
need to work around it some other way.
